Marcel Berlins and Clare Dyer explain and discuss how the system evolved and how it has been changing, the way it operates - including vivid descriptions of the trial process - and how lawyers work. At every stage they ask- is the English legal system as good as we have the right to expect? Now completely revised and updated for this fifth edition, The Law Machine surveys recent developments in the workings of the machinery of justice and the outlook for the future. The authors show how the legal establishment has tried to adopt a more open, modern approach. At the same time, far-reaching and controversial changes to the system promise better access to justice for all, but will they achieve that aim?

Reviews for The Law Machine

'This is an extraordinarily important, exhilarating and brilliant piece of work on Wordsworth, and one of the most interesting pieces of critical inquiry on any subject I have read in some time.' Alan Liu 'This volume is so rich in its range of reference, so varied in the modes of analysis it offers, and so thickly punctuated by the analogies it uses as its method, that it is certain to offer much to any reader interested in the philosophical and historical origins of liberalism, and their place within the formation of poetic subject in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.' British Journal of Eighteenth-Century Studies
